The original BTY Harimoto S-ZLC is 6.2mm thickness. So I'm not sure why Stuor decided to make their clone just 6.0mm.

I guess i just think of it as a innerforce alc replaced with zlc

I got some kind of harimoto zlc composite blade at 6.0mm

A seller on Ali was selling a Stuor Harimoto blade for $30. After I inquired about it, he realized he had the wrong price and raised it to $40. But I asked him to sell to me for the original price, so he lowered it just for me. So I guess I got a little discount.

how much did you sell for?

Who is that video of?

Well 1900 is a quite high level. If he is satisfied with the quality of the Stuor blade, then it should be more than good enough for OP and myself.

I mean did the 2 blades have similar play characteristics as the HL5?

Did they play something similar to HL5? What level of player did you sell to?

Which 2 blades did you have? Did you have trouble explaining what they were when you sold them?

There was a little seller coupon so I couldnt resist making use of it. I got one outer zlc Lemuria blade and one inner zlc Stuor blade. Theyre designed to look like ZJK blade and Harimoto blade. I dont think they are perfect clones though, and i dont expect them to be same in feeling. I just...

It seems reasonable because it fits with my understanding of blade physics. For example, blades with more speed will generally have less flex, and may suit flatter hits better. Blades with more flex will have less speed, but will suit topspin hits better. Sometimes I see ratings (including on...

Of course its just their opinion, but it seems quite reasonable ratings to me. Also I like the format explaining topspins vs flat hits etc

This blade table was in one of Dan's blade reviews, but are there bigger or more complete tables available to view somewhere? Id like to see this table include more popular blades.

Well this video is from April 2021, why is he still using Matsudaira ALC? If he likes more dwell, why hasn't he switched to innerforce zlc yet?

I didn't really understand the point of the video. Is he testing the rubber or the blades? either way, his general conclusion seems to be that he likes the innerforce blades more because they have more dwell time.

This is opposite what lazer said. In my experience, dajdosta is right. The new ball is easier to lift the ball and clear the net. The old ball requires cleaner technique to loop the ball. So it seems logical to me that practicing with old ball would give you some advantage.

Anybody else have any experience with celluloid ball vs plastic ball? Which ball is easier to loop against underspin?

Well if you boost H3, then yeah think the difference would be much smaller. They might feel similar in speed. So maybe that's why we are talking in different languages. But just take a H3N out of package, and take a BD out of package, without any additional booster, and they are night and day...

Maybe you are right, I should do some more training with plastic ball and see if its actually harder to life underspin. But when I see a celluloid ball being sliced to me with heavy underspin, it just seems more intimidating than with a plastic ball. And when I slice to my opponent with the...
